Planting 6 Containers for Summer! ☀️🌿🌸 // Garden Answer

[@lisalundstrom1591]

I am amazed at how beautiful your yard is becoming. All of the layering, textures of foliage, the hard scapes and accents. It’s just wonderful to see how this blank space is being transformed. I love watching your videos so much.

[@ElderandOakFarm]

I know! They get so much done, so quickly!

[@Thinking.Of.Some.Handle]

Things are filling up quick yes! I cannot wait to see how it all looks after 5 years

[@stephenpmurphy591]

​@@Thinking.Of.Some.HandleAfter five years Laura & Aaron's garden will be a little slice of paradise!

[@889danielle]

Hi everyone! I’m new to gardening and I don’t yet know what most folks do with their spent soil from containers. I have a small yard and I don’t do composting (not sure if that’s even the move). Advice welcome!❤

[@889danielle]

Laura, what do y’all use for your weekly water soluble fertiliser? I’m new to the gardening game and I want to establish a routine for upkeep after planting. Pretty clueless over here 😅

[@aliciariley_barefootgardener]

The old Laura would have packed those containers full! There has certainly been some evolution in the gardening! :D I'm excited to see them in a month!

[@lindaga820]

I was thinking the same thing !!

[@pattykelly6621]

It'll grow

[@thejoyfullilyandco9537]

I noticed the same thing!

[@ElderandOakFarm]

I was thinking the same thing! It's nice to see her being more conservative...

[@zackarybever9769]

Laura, thank you so much for your daily videos. Working in the ICU the days are often long and stressful. I watch your videos daily during my lunch. Escaping to your beautiful garden lifts my spirits and gives me the peace I need, even on my toughest days. Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing what you do! ❤ Your dedication, positivity, and light does not go unnoticed!

[@joydaniel597]

Hey I’m a nurse too working in PACU and I do the same on my break time!

[@payton8613]

ER nurse here, same! LOL Just to be able to lose yourself in the beauty of her garden, even if only for 15 minutes - like breathing high flow oxygen.

[@shanageidl4382]

OR nurse...same deal! So relaxing and inspiring ideas of how to spend that OT money!

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

We have been WAITING for some sun we have had so many successive rainy coldish days! This afternoon we are finally seeing a little sun!!!!

[@mandyyoung9941]

When Aaron said he could tip the planters, I got major flashbacks to the fountain in the boxwood circle! 😂 So glad this had a better result! Looks beautiful as always, Laura!

[@lisalundstrom1591]

Oh my goodness! I was just coming on here to say the same exact thing😂

[@casey.munmar]

Yesss!! I was wondering if anyone else immediately thought of that 😅😅😅

[@ctrygrl3]

Me too! 😂 Although I think that other one was crazy heavy. I'm glad one of them didn't lose a toe that day.

[@heatherderganc5984]

😆😂🤣

[@tracyblalock4762]

Yup! 😂

[@beckybroussard2078]

😅The two of you climbing on top of that planter absolutely brought JOY & LAUGHTER to my morning. You both are such a sweet team. Your videos are so enjoyable, everyday.

[@juliafiore120]

First summer containers of the year. Loving it!! 🌷🌼🌻

[@linsmith2310]

Hello, off topic really sorry them Urns are not lasting, year's ago we helped my parents they had 7 which were in horrible shape so much Hubby sanded, and steel brushed with sander, cleaner then puddy patched them chips, cracks, built out from the crumble fixing, then sealed brushed a sealant, it worked great!! 😊 We sold farm last summer and new owners were so happy we saved them, hope Aaron can Google and try fix themworth the effort, it wasn't hard or difficult, a couple day project, Hubby was very pleased with finishing look 😊 uffta 15 year's ago he just said... Good luck on Ur decision!! Lv them flowering pots!! Beautiful day too Enjoy Ur Gardening and Thank's for Ur New Beauties 😊

[@joemcdaniel6341]

I liked seeing the crumbling on your urns. It shows they have served you long and hard and are still valued today. Not everything has to be clean, shinny and perfect. Imperfection can be beautiful!

[@angiecastillo3881]

Yaaa for Aaron! I'd love seeing the hayracks come back.

[@marinbandel2574]

Good morning, Laura. Love the striped Petunias 😀😀😀❤️ Hugs from N.C..❤️ P.S. try putting a piece of cardboard behind the black pipe and spray the pipe with Grey or white spray paint, and I bet you will not notice that pipe at all. Hugs❤️

[@Sisteryoda1440]

That’s a great idea!!

[@Yrutnec1]

HELLO SWEET SUMMER TIME !!!! The selections this year are fabulous !!! 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@nelliehedrick3147]

You have the garden of my dreams... I love watching you , you are so knowledgeable. I'm 74 now so I will never have it. But I can sure watch you!!

[@pat9604]

So unusual to see dirt in Laura's planters. So packed in the past! Cannot wait to see them bloomed up in these pretty combinations. My oxalis is in full sun, zone 8b, and has precious white blooms. If yours blooms, it will be an even more perfect compliment to the white and purple petunia. Thanks, Laura and Aaron!

[@tonifoster660]

GREAT background music choice at the south garden urns ♥♥♥ What a fun video !!! As a great grandmother who still loves being out in the garden, you two provide so many little ideas I can incorporate into my own garden. THANK YOU for the many years of watching you two and then the babies and the new property and then the new, new property. What a blessing you are to so many ♥

[@Debbie3360]

And in NJ it feels more like November than May. With just a brief dry out yesterday it’s been raining since Friday.

[@tandyking5381]

I love these. I love guara too I just planted 2 more in front of our shed on each side. I’ve learned so much from you and I can identify so many plants now. Been watching for years me and my coffee. ❤

[@Crazycatsx]

Laura’s enthusiasm and pretty planters are all I need to jumpstart my day…after coffee 😊 ☕️ 🌺

[@ctrygrl3]

It's just amazing to me the difference with the new shed, all the pathways, all the gardens, and just how it used to be a huge weedy field right there! You really have a gift and vision to be able to turn that field into what we see today. It's amazing. I can't wait to see what the new land will look like in a couple years. I mean, Pastor Paul did say in one of his sermons that he always wanted a horse when he was younger...🤷😂 so there's that.

[@kathierogers3208]

Great morning! Enjoy your day.🌼🌸

[@highlandlakecottage4276]

Containers aren’t as packed as previous 🙂, much more my style! Can’t wait to see how they grow & fill in!

This year you have daffodils and tulips along with summer annuals blooming at the same time! Mother Nature is awesome sometimes ❤

[@leesaaugustine1444]

Good Morning! 🌷 Those refreshed containers will be gorgeous! My plants are on their way & I can't wait to start planting my containers! 🥰🌞🌸🌿

[@DonnaDanner-wk2ru]

You always plant the most beautiful containers! I’m so jealous that you are able to plant summer flowers. We are just going to be warming up starting this weekend. Buffalo NY zone 6a

[@bethanydusher2275]

The fun is starting ! Love watching your experiments and experience! 🌼🌸🌻 Yeah Hayracks! That video- started our friendship! I saw the fence line of gorgeous flowers and said to myself ..."Where is that?...❤ Who does this lady work for? 😂...That is an amazing project!" 🎉😮 Next I saw the pallet walkway...and then I learned about KZbin subscriptions and videos and a whole bunch about gardening! I am looking forward to the Hayrack Project and Bonus Garden project! Thank you Laura and Aaron! I HOPE YOU BLESS JESUS and He continues to bless you! 😊

[@yvonnepace2564]

Really hoping my nursery got some persimmon supertunias in ! I want to copy that pot. It is going to be gorgeous in those ginormous urns!

[@shandysgarden]

What a great word I had forgotten about! We change the soil so that it's full of "goodies" 😊 for plant babies!

[@jennykenz]

Your containers always look so beautiful! While I wish that I could replicate something like these, at $6+ for just one proven winners annual (in my area at least), it’s not within my budget. It would be so helpful to see a cost effective alternative for those of us that need to stretch our flower budget each year and don’t necessary have the time or space for seed starting. Maybe you and Aaron could do a pots on a budget challenge were you are restricted to the cheaper annual packets and direct sow seeds that many garden centers offer.

[@christine55416]

Excellent challenge idea

[@abbytomkiewicz2232]

Awe yay! I am in Colorado and just bought some flowers to plant up a couple containers. It's getting to be that time of year! Garden centers are full of pretty stuff!

[@lyonhawaii]

What a lovely morning! Everything is looking beautiful! Good idea with the pots without drain holes. I love all the color combinations and the tulips anf daffodils! Magical!

[@erindewan6758]

I love that purple oxalis, I bought one last year and it was stunning in a pot by itself on the balcony. I brought it in for the winter and it lost lots of leaves but otherwise did very well. So pretty! Can’t wait to put it back out. Might divide it first as it’s looking very big. Highly recommended shade plant!

[@rbarbrosey]

I'm doing the exact same with mine 🙂

[@wandabrown508]

Great, productive video with inspiring problem solving and glorious color combinations. I love that Laura tells the name of each plant and describes their growth habit. Beautiful blue sky!

[@beckybroussard2078]

Also could you consider doing a drone shot of time, of how your garden has grown, changed shapes and became to this years fullest. You are great showing each seasonal section as it's planted and growing but would be interesting to see ALL of the overtime, of each year to now, have it all-yearly changed to now.

[@FlowersAndFinery]

Planning pots!!! Yay!! I have been waiting for this day as well. I was happy to get all of my plants in their pots this weekend.

[@cv7357]

Thanks for listing all plants under the video! super helpful. The containers will be so lovely!

Oh what fun! Going to try and get my hands on superbena imperial blue this year…thanks for the reminder!

[@firefly5421]

Those containers look fantastic - as always! I am going to have to see if I can find any of that supertunia perssimon in my local garden center, they look fab! And as always, thanks a mill Ken (or our new mystery editor?) for adding in the flashbacks to projects past! 💕

[@vynedvyne59]

Sure looks like ya all have fun doing life together as you work daily in your gifting you are a blessing to me. Thank you for your example❤

[@leslienan9197]

I love Laura and the family!❤ I have been following for about 4 years and the transformation of the gardens have been wonderful and has taught me alot and truly brightens my day!😅 But, I love the natural sound rather than the music. I find it so soothing ! Anyways, love you❤

[@lovewins8238]

Love the planters, landscape, hardscape and the flowers you chose this year! It’s going to be a feast for the eyes! 🪴🌸

[@carolynmangipudi9898]

Hello Garden Answer friends. I am late catching up on wed, thurs & fridays daily 7 a.m. with Laura first thing with my coffee, before work routine. Last year, I came across & picked Guara same color a dark magenta with red hues Laura has chosen for this year, as well as the Oxalis, which is a deep purple 3 leaf clover leaf that flowers. They both performed beautifully. I wanted to dig them up & bring them in before the cold Michigan weather hit but weather beat me. They really are a new fav for me now too. The Guara was in a long container with others in filtered sun & Oxalis was partnered also with the same deep colored petunia or impatient now I forget what myself have planted last yr..but really beautiful & will repeat. I am in 5b zone but same here we are behind & had false summer temps then snow, now I thing with the rain really seeing Spring has sprung. My perennials didn't seem to stunned by the snow in past 1 1/2 wks...but now its trying to keep the deer 🦌 away from tender new leaves..they can eat my dandelions though..haha. Have a great day all.

[@kathleenvadney6217]

It is fun to do planters with fresh plants. They should be beautiful.

[@lfc286]

Love the Color scheme of the 2 south garden pots. 😎 Laura you’ve converted me to peachy coloured plants.

[@suzannefronzaglio2427]

I love the new container plantings, and appreciate you showing the plant combos from last year. Beautiful combinations, and great inspiration!

[@Toinette2883]

It certainty has been a crazy spring. Bulbs just starting to bloom now here too in Ontario Canada. So excited to finally see color❣️

[@kaynucklehead1633]

I love how you use color, texture and height/width of each plant to form such beautiful containers. I also love that you rehome the living perennials. If something is struggling but still has life I give it time to rebound. Like what you and your husband did for the tree that split with the braces etc that gave it a chance to heal. I have a special place in my heart for that tree and look for updates. I have a rising sun redbud that had half of it's canopy torn off because of winds. I have it staked to try to get the canopy to recover and I think within the next two years you won't be able to tell the damage. I think it's canopy was too full. It looked like a pom pom. Now I have all my redbuds pruned to thin out the canopies. So far so good. Fingers crossed.

[@jillkeim3587]

Really excited to see the urns in the south garden fill in, should be spectacular! Thank you for introducing me to guara, I had never heard of it, planted the pink last year and absolutely loved it. Have a blessed day!

[@janeclancey8044]

The container plants you choose are always such beautiful combinations! Thanks for today’s video!

4:11 I live in Arizona zone 9b and I also planted some purple shamrock. We’ve already had several days over 100° and they’ve handled it like a champ. I also provided at lots of protection by planting it on the east side of our house so it gets afternoon shade. Good luck! I hope it performs for you as they are stunning.

[@LHazle]

Thanks for another great video. I remember last year you talked about the sparkling amethyst Superbenas and I watched them grow in your update videos. I loved yours so much, I made a note on this years calendar that I needed to look for those. And, I found them. I now have some in containers and some in the ground. We have a white & purple/burgundy color scheme in our beds. The Superbenas are mixed in with Purple leaved Chinese Loropetlum, Dwarf Gardenias, Purple Mexican Heather, White Dwarf Agapanthus, Purple Angelonia, Purple Salvia and White SunPatiens. Plus some surprise, volunteer rubekias from last year. We're in Zone 9b. We also loved your Purple Geraniums so we planted some bulbs this spring. But nothing has grown yet. I see yours sprouting leaves and we've got nothing. Not sure what went wrong, we've only been planting new stuff for about 5 years. Anyway, I love seeing your plants in the various stages of growth. So often the tag just shows the flower, I want to see what the whole plant looks like in the ground, what shape it has, how long it will bloom & what it looks like after, etc. So, keep up the great work. We enjoy your videos and watch often. Happy long spring! :D

[@sf55514]

The Sallis? is beautiful. That dark purple. Your planters are very nice.

[@mjrh45]

Laura, I really love the stone slab pathway you and Aaron have installed. It adds such a nice touch of beauty to the area.

[@donnagent6046]

I don’t know why, but I’m really excited about the use of the geranium in the Galloway urn.

[@colsen4616]

Supertunia Latte is fabulous! It’s big and showy yet doesn’t take over the container. The color is unique, works well with so many colors, and takes me through the fall. My deck is part sun and so far Supertunias Latte, Royal Velvet, and Royal Velvet have flowered well.

[@roselewis24]

The seasons have been off this year here too. I just ordered two large boxes of daffodil bulbs I'm excited to see them bloom in spring, watching your garden on the opposite season definitely encourages putting the work in over the cooler months when the garden isn't so pretty.

I’m in central/northern CA, zone 9b. Our spring & summer is usually very much like high desert weather. Similar to yours. I live in the area that hit 117 last September. It’s always warm-hot here & mostly dry by April. This wk we have temps in the 60s & a few showers! UNHEARD OF FOR MAY! Just last wk we hit 95! Our spring is usually from February thru 2nd wk of April. We’re usually consistently in the 90s by now. May can see triple digits easily. The lows have been in the 40s😮. It’s been a glorious spring! My roses have never been so beautiful! We’re so behind in our growing season & I don’t even care😊 I totes understand how you’re feeling about this awesome spring season.

[@gailallen2895]

We don’t plant annuals in this area until after Mother’s Day because of late frosts. This year’s cool spring temps have really given us a long spring bloom season.

[@taylorolson7828]

I just had a thought when you were in your raised bed veg garden! Since you love the copper top raised bed caps that you installed at your sister-in-laws house, I bet you Paul could form copper tops/seam covers about 4” thick or so, so that your 45° angle cuts on the wood don’t show anymore. It’d look great new and when it weathers!! The seams would just be copper angle pieces and the corner tops could be whichever shape floats your fancy. Round, pyramidal, flat, etc. Romance the ordinary :)
